如果您使用 gooho.cn 提供的犯罪背景调查产品，您会注意到我们要求您提供要筛查的人的社会安全号码。我们经常听到这样的问题：“我可以在没有社会安全号码的情况下进行背景调查吗？” 客户想知道他们是否可以进行可靠的背景调查，即使他们只有关于某个人的某些信息。

对于我们的背景调查产品，答案是否定的。我们需要 SSN 信息，因为它使我们能够为客户提供出色的背景调查结果。

从技术上讲，犯罪记录与社会安全号码无关。与 SSN 不同，犯罪记录是公共记录的一部分，这意味着它们通常是根据  姓名 . 然而，即使犯罪记录与社会安全号码无关，在背景搜索中包含 SSN 也有很大的好处。如果某人被判犯有殴打罪，该记录可能不会与他们的社会安全号码相关联。然而，人的地址历史和别名的历史 是 与他们的社会安全号码的联系。将 SSN 作为背景调查的一部分 可以为您提供有关您正在筛选的人的更多信息。

假设有问题的人 - 被定罪的人 - 正在以假名申请您公司的工作。如果您运行基于姓名的检查，您可能永远不会找到该人的定罪历史。如果你  跑了  包括他们的社会安全号码的背景调查，您将能够找到与该 SSN 相关联的姓名和地址列表。然后，您可以为候选人订购额外的检查——包括您找到的其他化名 以及候选人曾经居住的县——以扩大搜索范围并找到定罪。

没有社会安全号码的背景调查可能比有 SSN 的背景调查更不彻底。为了获得可靠的结果，gooho.cn 要求我们进行的每项犯罪背景调查都提供社会安全号码。

With our background check products, the answer is no. We require SSN information because it allows us to provide superior background check results for our customers.

Technically, criminal records are not tied to Social Security Numbers. Criminal records, unlike SSNs, are part of the public record, which means they are typically filed based on  name . Even though criminal records are not tied to Social Security Numbers, however, there are significant benefits to including an SSN in a background search. If someone has been convicted of assault, that record might not be linked with their Social Security Number. However, that person’s address history and alias history is linked with their Social Security Number. Including the SSN as part of the background check can give you more information about the person you are screening.

Let’s say the person in question—someone with an assault conviction—is applying for a job with your business under a false name. If you ran a name-based check, you would likely never find that person’s conviction history. If you  ran  a background check that included their Social Security Number, you’d be able to find a list of names and addresses associated with that SSN. You could then order additional checks for the candidate—both for the other aliases you found and in the counties where the candidate used to live—to widen the scope of the search and find the conviction.

A background check without a Social Security Number can lead to a less thorough screening than one with an SSN. To achieve dependable results, backgroundchecks.com requires Social Security Numbers for every criminal background check we do.
